- Yes, such a beast exists, at the freshman level anyway. In other words,
- consider the question below:
-
- "William defeated Harold at Hastings in which year:
- a) 1047
- b) 1086
- c) 1066
- d) 1096
-
- I posit that such tests bode ill for the teaching profession, and
- for the future of humanities education in general.
